All work and no play make Jack Bauer a mean boy. Plus: Cliff takes on the Heat Miser (and pays for it) on "Top Chef"!

    Top Chef could easily be renamed Tough Sh!t.

    Professional chefs are about the most finicky,gossipy,picayune,snobby,back-biting and self-obsessed groups as one could imagine. Just like any group of creative,ambitious,competitive individuals.

    The real deal could not be broadcast so they settle for a scripted,watered down version. It is what it is. The competitive aspect hyper-inflates the

    egotist in each chef. Personalities clash,but to throw down the race card is just wrong.
